Greeley, to-day, was merely a s
gathering or pia- n io. Greeley oonda
the various delegates over his farm ii
forenoon and described all its peculia?
rities. ? bountiful dinner? was served at
1 o'clock, after whioh Greeley addressed
the meeting, consisting of about 500
people, and said it waa a social gather?
ing, having no other purpose than con?
gregating for pleasure. There were
friends from home, from far and near,
and he wished they would frequently
visit him at his farm. The speaker then
described his sojourn at Ohappaqua for
the last twenty years, and said that in
spite of what the public at largo might
think of his farming capabilities, he
could inform them that he had lost
nothing. It was true, he spent some
money, BO had be lent, and the latter had
gone "where the woodbine twineth;"
whoreas the money he spent on his farm
was to some good-at all events, ho
knew where it was. His present pro?
perty was bought at the request of his
wife, and he meant to live aud die on it.
Ex-Senator Gwin, Judge Reagan, of
Texas, and other gentlemen also made
speeches, prophesying the election of

DEATH OF GENERAL ST. JOHN SKINNER.
We are pained to notice by our Wash?
ington exchanges the demise of this
venerable gentleman. His record is one
full of honor, and he closes, at the good
old ?g? of seventy-five, an earthly pilgri?
mage, marked throughout by an un?
wearied and progressive walk in the
ways of rectitude, faithfulness and duty.
Tho deceased was born in Washington
County, New York, and did good service
in the war of 1812. Ardently attaohed
to the principles of the great Demo
oratio party, he struck many a hearty
blow in its ranks. During the adminis?
tration of President Pierce he was en?
trusted with the 'responsible duties of
First Assistant Postmaster-General, a
post whioh he continued to occupy and
adorn tbrooghout the successive terms
of Presidents Buchanan, Lincoln and
Johnson. On Saturday last, ho was
stricken with paralysis, and gradually
growing feebler, passed finally away,
early on Wednesday morning. General
Skinner leaves a widow and three
daughters. Two of his daughters inter?
married in South Carolina, and now re?
side in this State.-Charleston Courier.
A Missouri woman bas been traveling
fifteen months, mostly on foot, in search

Greeley and Grant.
I propose, Messrs. Editors, to insti?
tuto a comparison between these two
candidates for the Presidency.
Greeley is admitted to be a man of
troth, and one who has never deceived
his friends or foes. Grant was con?
victed of lying by the whole of President
Johnson's Cabinet! It is a matter of
record. In his explanation about ac?
cepting the temporary appointment of
Secretary of the War Department, he
openly avows his treachery, base trea?
chery, to his obied Such conduct would
have dishonored a private gentleman in
any sooiety.
Greeley hus always been a sober man.
Grant was a disgraced drunkard before
the war, and had to resign his commis?
sion in the army to keep from being
cashiered 1
Greeley has shown himself by his
speeches and writings to be a man of
talent and ability. Grant has never
written anything that evinced the least
ability, and be bas never been able to
maka a speech at all] During the war,
he displayed no military genius what?
ever, and after sacrificing 120,000 men,
twice General Leu's whole force, be con?
quered only by an overwhelming force
still left under his command.
Greeley is in favor of the constitu
tional rights of the States being respect
ed, and will sacredly guard and proteo
them. Grant, throughout bis whoh
administration, has disregarded tin
rights of the Southern States, and tram
pied them in the dust I
Greeley id a oiviliaa and a statesman

for the enforcement of the laws. Gran
is a successful military chieftain, con
fesses in his inaugural that he "'has n

man; and he han Bet all law at defiance
for the last four years, and governed tb
South by military force! He has fille

the writ of habeas corpus, had innoaec

without warrant, and hurried off to jai
All this done in time of. profound peace
when the civil authorities were abuui

of hundreds of thousands of dollars, ai

there is nothing left in the State to etc
His bayonets will protect them, and I
negroes will bo told again if they do

Greeley was in favor of amnesty at
close of the war, aud wished "the No
and South to shake hands over the gr
of slavery." Grant and his partis
have denied to the wisest and best n
in the Southern States the right of h<
ing office ever since the war closed,
it was forced out of them by tho no
nation of Greeley.
Greeley was for peace after the i
render of Lee, and magnanimity on
part of the conquerors. Grant b\
critically cried out, "Let us have pcai
whilst he was marching his staut]
armies over the country, commitl
outrages on peaceful citizens and i
ring up strife and rebellion.
All the issues on which Greeley
posed the South for the last thirty ye
are dead aud buried. There is nov
antagonism between him and us.
the issues which separate us from G
are livina issues, and will continui
live as long as he remains in the P
dency.
If Greeley is elected, he will res
the Government to Bepublican pr
pies and constitutional rights, and
down corruption and dishonesty.
Grant is elected, he will continue
military despotism and play the ty
on a grand scale.
If Greeley is elected, he will live a
seat of Government and attend to
high and responsible trusts. But G
will, if re-elected, take up his abod
somo watering place in tho summet
son, and trot his fast horses, as he
been doing for some years post, lea

tion has brought all these evils upon us.
Do we not wish a change? Can we sur?
vive four years longer under these bur?
dens?
If there is any gratitude in the breast
of a colored man, aud he bas intelli?
gence enongh to know that Greeley has
done more for his emancipation and
right o? suffrage than any othor man in
America, he will choose him in prefer?
ence to Grant, who, up to tho war, was
a Demoorat and u pro-Hlavery man, vot?
ing for James Buchanan for President of
the United States. Should the colored
people now repudiate their old friend
Greeley, and take up Graut, the oppo?
nent of their emancipation, it will show,
says Judge Davis, that they are unlit to
exercise the right of suffrage. I am sure
they would not do so, but for the malign
influence of the carpetbaggers aud
office seekers, and office-holders.
B. F. PERKY.
AN ONSLAUGHT HY DADDY CAIN AT A
RADICAL CELEBRATION ON TOE FOURTH.
In the afternoon, the party returned to
the oourt house, where speeches were
made by tho same speakers, some of
whom we heard. That by Rev. Cain was
good, lu chaste and simple language
and a clear enunciation, he spoke to his
colored friends about "men and things"
which most directly concern them.
Sueh as hug and hominy, borne influ?
ences, unjust taxation, which is tapping
their vitals und retarding their prosperi?
ty, &c, the need of peuce and an era of
prosperity, in which both races will un?
derstand each other better, ?fcc, and es?
tablish that unity which shall not com?
promise either party, but eventuate in
good, comprehensive, liberal and eco?
nomically administered "government, of
the people, by the people, for the peo?
ple," who are sovereign, according to
the organic structure and genius of the
Constitution. He exposed the venality
of the rings, and aflirmed that he was
not a carpet-bagger, but a trunker; and
that he had come to stay, invest bis in?
terest here, and strive for tho common
weal. With reference to an economically
administered government, he stated that
ten mills on the dollar would be an ample
revenue of taxation to run the govern?
ment, pay the officials, meet the accruing
interest uud leave a surplus in the trea?
sury. Ho told tho colored people whole?
some truths about the legerdemain and
wheedling practioed upon them-the
sand throwu iuto their eyes, and the
wool that is pulled over by those who
use them as willing tools and dupes, ?fcc.
But he clinohed the nail that be drove
home, wheo he told them that they pay
the taxes-iudirectly, as might be seen.
To wit, that, although they do not pos?
sess lands and other taxable property,
they buy sugar and fiud the tax at the
bottom of their cups, in the bricks in
their bats, (whiskey being a great big
bill of taxation.) in their boots; from the
crown of their heads to the soles of their
feet, they are taxed, and they pay the
taxes, and are kept poor; aud this is
right, because they ure fools enough not
to see better and do better. Hesaid the
merchant would bo a consummate fool, if
be did not put the tax on them, to pay
the heavy tim] exorbitant direct tax
levied upon bis goods. That this was
business. He endorsed Gen. Grant, but
spoke kindly of Mr. Greeley, and closed
his remarks by urging his colored hear?
ers to remember that they were on trial,
and that they must be prudent in their
selection of custodians-not to take any
Tom, Dick, Harry or Bill's ipse dixil, biu
refer tu bis antecedents, aud learn as to
his general character, honesty, fitness,
capacity, ic, beforo giving him suffrage.
He puid a eulogium to bis race for their
confiding nature, and aflirmed that the
gory locks of an avenging Nemesis must
not bu shaken at his countrymen-that
they neither had money nor wit suffi?
cient to inaugurate au ern of venality.
[Newberry Herald.
A STRAW.-Oue of the very best si g us
of the times for Greeley, muy bo found
in the extraordinary and persistent efforts
used by the Grunt press to defeat his
nomination by the Baltimore Conven?
tion. They left no stone unturned to
prejudice the Southern Democracy
against him and drive them from his
support. His past record was raked over
for bitter partisan utterances, slanders
and lies were put into his mouth, and
even libelous pictures printed in order to
make him odious in the eyes of the
Southern people. Now, what does all
this mean? Why did the Grant men
wis li Greeley defeated at Baltimore? Is
it presumable that they would wish to
drive from the field a candidate whom
they believed they oould beat and risk
the nomination of a stronger man? Such
a conclusion would be absurd. The
plain English of it is, they wanted to
beat Greeley at Baltimore because they
knew full well that they could not beat
him anywhere else. It was their only
ohanoe to get rid of a foe who they knew
full well would thrash the little military
despot out of his boots. But they failed,
and now they may begin the work of
preparation for judgment day. It is
coming upon them. With whips of scor?
pions an indignant people will drive from
power into disgrace a faction that knows
no law except its own interest, that has
well nigh overturned the Government,
and by its tyranny and shameless cor?
ruption disgraced the American name.
They already seo the handwriting on tho
wall, and their fate is ns certain and
overwhelming ns that of the wicked
Babylonish King. Let them prepare to
meet it with whatever grace that guilt
oau command.-Savannah Republican.

THE MCLAUGHLIN OASE.-Another at?
tempt was made to effect the release of
Commissioner McLaughlin, yesterday,
by writ of habeas corpus, bot it did not
succeed, as Judge Graham refused to act
in the matter, alleging that he had no
power to enforce any order that he
might make, as the sheriff preferred
obeying the mandate of the Criminal,
instead of the Circuit, Court. Judge
Graham has telegraphed for the Attor?
ney-General, to advise with him in the
matter.
Senator Whipper took possession of
the original papers bearing on the case
yesterday, stating that he intended leav?
ing for Columbia, at night, to restrain
Judge Graham taking farther action in
the case. - Charleston Courier, 13?7?.
DEATH OF JOHN D. BROWNE.-The
I deceased, who departed this life yester
I day, will be remembered for his long
1 connection with the City Cemetery,
having been its Superintendent for up?
wards of thirty years. He met with an
afiliction in the great fire of 1838, when
he lost his sight while engaged in en?
deavoring to stop the progress of the
Humes by blowing up buildings. In re?
cognition of his services, and' as some
compensation for what he suffered, the
different local administrations kept him
in the city's employ as public cemetery
keeper until the office was abolished by
I the present municipal government. He
I was the founder of the Charleston Fire

Lost week, a train of cars near Phila?
delphia, struck a negro man, threw him
twenty feet into the air, and tore his
clothing all to shreds. The train was
stopped, and the horrified spectators
weut back to find him on his feet again,
resuming his line of march npon the
track. He proved to be deaf, and
seemed to look upon the affair as a com?
mon incident of travel. He did not
know what they were talking about, or
seemed to care, when questioned. The
locomotive probably struck him on the
head.
If "there were giant? in those days,"

long home last week. He was seven feet

pounds. He kept a place of entertain?
